tn. tender and uncoupled the cars AT
that point. and while the cars were re
CeGing from the engine he endcavorsd
to reach the ladder on the rear end Of ths
freight car in order to put the brakes on
the detached cars, but missed his CalCu
lation and fell on the track and was rur
over by the backing engine The coup
ling pin was found near his body The
tender was derailed and the body of th'
unfortunate man was rolled up as in E;
knot under the trucks Of the tender, hi
head meeting his feet. The trial justice
and Others in town. who investigated tn
accident. found him in this position.
Another horrible death occurred il
